I had created wimmera.nig.com as a social network for people related to the Wimmera. The idea is to consolidate people into the Wimmera community by developing a social network that provide a place to share information about the Wimmera and connect with others. The fantastic thing about wimmera.ning.com is it is dedicated to to people who have an interest in the Wimmera. Unlike other social network members become a part of the sea of global networks and have difficulty connecting with local people and events.
Social networking is important in the future of Internet collaboration as we become more involved in the technology and provides opportunities to reconnect with people and groups. By creating a local community social space then locals people, organisations and businesses have a place to connect to the community.
The goals are to connect people of the Wimmera and give them a portal where they can contribute to and collect information.

But I am not interested in social networks
Yes for some social networking seem pointless and valueless but considered this. You children are using social networks to on the Internet and through SMS on mobile phones. This is our next generation whom will live in a total different world to what we know. Social network will be a part of this world and to get access to it then we also need to become a part of this world. Politicians have over the recent Elections both here in Australia and in the United States have been using Facebook and YouTube to get access to the thousands of people who use it. They are able to connect with the users in a new way and keep users informed of their politics. Media Outlets have also found that the use of social networks build relationship up with there consumers and big business have their advertisements placed on YouTube. With smaller groups it very difficult to stand out against the big guys so with wimmera.ning you can consolidate the social network to a focus group.
But my business is already on the Internet
